[Spoken Interlude 1: Ryder Thomas]

Now, I always look up at my dad, y'know

On the couch watching football

Drinking a Budweiser, you know? That whole thing

You know what? I always wanted to be like him

So, I went to the gas station the other day

And I asked him, "Hey, dude, do you have any Budweisers?"

And he said, "Uh, sorry, dude, I don't sell alcohol to minors"

T-That's pretty dumb, so, I went– So, I looked around

Then I saw this thing called, "Mild Budget Root Beer"

And then I gave it him and said, "This one?"

He said, "Sure"

So, I handed– you know, all the cool kids

The kids will probably find me cool if I drink this stuff

Hope– So, tonight, I'm gonna– I buy a bunch of bottles(?)

And, tonight, I'm gonna attempt to get drunk off them

Because, y'know, cool stuff, I don't have anything better to do

[Spoken Interlude 2: Ryder Thomas]

So, update: so far, I'm drunk

I drinked, like, 6 of them and not drunk at all

I just feel pretty strict on my teeth

I decided to go back with my [?] and tried to get a bunch more

Didn't decide to get a bunch more;

I kinda had to go a little bit more budgety

So, I found this new brand, like, "Joe's Ultra Budget Root Beer"

And there's a little disclaim on the front

It said, "Warning: may or may not contain rat poison"

I mean, eh, what– what are you gonna do about it?

Whatever, it tastes good

So, I bought, like, 20 of them

And... just to see if that'd get me drunk

So, I'll give you– I'll keep you guys updated if I–

If I do, and if I don't... oh– oh, well

*coughs* An update: *coughs* not feeling too well

Is this what being dru– drunk feels like?

*coughs* It's like– *coughs* Help! *continues coughing*

So, uh, I drinked like 20 of.. like, 20 of them

To put them all into the truck and drink it

I mean, if it would fit in, like– if it–

If I get, like, the [?], oh– oh, wow

*continues coughing*

So, tell the kids at school, that I– *coughs*


[Instrumental]


[Spoken Outro: Ryder Thomas]

Hey, son, how's it in your deathbed?

Unfortunately, you're gonna die this soon

Uh, I'm trying to let you know–

Just to let you know: you had a good life

(Well, I got de– I got drunk)

Oh, son, you got drunk? I'm proud of you

Have a good– have a good life in the afterlife, though
